Hello everyone and welcome to the fourth chapter of My Hero Characters react to "Izuku the Reincarnated Chef". With me again is my friend and co-writer/author, JoySeeker101.

Joy: We are at the more relaxed chapter of the story, before troubles start piling-up for Izuku, the last moment of peace. XD

True. Izuku does seem like a trouble magnet.

Joy: It is part of his charm.

(Shrugs) So anyways. Ready to meet today's guest?

Joy: Of course! XD

Then please welcome Hitoshi Shinso.

Hitoshi: "Hey..."

Joy: A bit more alive, maybe?

Hey, he is like Aizawa, I think this is all we're going to get from him.

Hitoshi: "I'm standing right here you know..."

Joy: Yes, but considering you usually exude the same Life of a mannequin, just like dear Suneater, it's hard to not mistake you for part of the background.

Hitoshi: (Lets out a sigh) "Can I just do the disclaimer and get back to sleep?"

Go ahead.

Hitoshi: "Light/Xara and Joy here don't own Gourmet of Another World, Toriko or My Hero Academia, please support the official release!"

Thank you, now, onto the story.

Chapter 4: Watching Episode Three, "Punishing Troublemakers"

(Meeting room)

All the girls and Tamaki were in the meeting room again, with Mei, Melissa and Kinoko joining them now.

"Sooo...We are all in this for the same boy?" Melissa asked, shocked.

"Tch! Shroom-tastic, I have either rivals or people to share my Porcine Prince with! You are not exactly leaving me any choice!" Kinoko added, huffing.

"Says the girl with the shrine..." Jiro stated flatly.

"That was supposed to be a secret! And even then, there is nothing wrong in talking about my day to some pictures of the guy I love I took in secret or smelling the MANLY SCENT of his body from the various shreds of his Hero Costumes I collected through the year before going to sleep! Nothing wrong!"

"... Girl... you're starting to sound like a Yandere," Pony stated, scooting away.

"A yandere would have killed you all. I just love my Izu enough to sneak into his room and sniff his pillow, nothing too extreme." Kinoko answered.

"No, she's a Goudere," Mina stated.

"So she likes cheese?" Toru asked.

"No, that's gouda." Momo answered.

"A Goudere is an overachieving character who sees their beloved as their master and will do or obtain anything for them. They have a highly idealized image of their significant other and will stop at nothing to please their partner, no matter what they think. This can lead to funny and sometimes disastrous situations involving the cast." Pony informed. "... I like anime..."

"...So Ibara is one too?" Setsuna asked.

"TOKAGE!" the christian girl hissed in horror.

"Can we please get back on track...?" Tamaki asked, trying to be the voice of reason again.

"Yes, please settle down everyone," Momo agreed with the only (for now) boy of their group.

"Okay, I guess you were finalizing some ground rules while we were occupied elsewhere?" Melissa asked.

"Yes, were you told about what we went over last time?" Ochako asked.

"The basics: No Leaders, no hoarding, no tricks and only if Izu is okay with this...That's the gist, yes?" Kinoko asked.

"And we all have to agree if anyone is to join, and we mean all," Setsuna stated.

"...FINE! I will follow those rules..." Kinoko accepted with a grumble.

"Sounds reasonable, so I am okay with this." Melissa added.

"I have seen you liking other girls to Kiniko, or are those looks at our rears in the changing room something else~?" Yui teased her classmate.

"I love everything pretty! That's why I want a three-way with me, Izu and Reiko! ... Did I say it aloud?" All of them nodded, making the mushroom girl blush atomic red.

"... Well that was hot to hear..." Jiro stated, blushing a bit. Kiniko just slammed her head on the table.

"Well after that... confession..." Momo stated, trying to recover. "Does anyone have anything else to bring up?"

"Schedule? For any Group Project to work, a schedule is essential." Melissa asked.

"I am sure both Momo and Itsuka can come up with something, they are good at organizing." Setsuna answered, shrugging.

"I am, but I do not mind having others help me with ideas to add to it," Momo stated.

"Managing free time, hobbies, dates...Intimacy and the like won't be easy. But it is feasible." Itsuka added.

"We'll draw a schedule once we're done here then. When do we break it to Icchan that he has been chosen by all of us and can't say no?" Itsuka asked.

"...MINA!" everybody said it as one.

"Ow, come on!" Mina pouted. "Why are you yelling at me...?"

"Nobody is yelling. We just elected you as the poor sod that will bring the good news to Icchan about his sparkling new harem." Toru said.

Mina had a giant smile. "How should I do this~?"

"Up to you. You are on your own!"

"I'll bring him to a club then~" Mina stated. "Anything else?"

"Nothing that comes to mind. Besides who will get his Firsts. But that can be decided at a later date." Shinso answered.

Momo gave her a flat look. "Did that really need to be brought up...?"

"I know for certain Ochaco-san wants his V Card, she can have them all if you don't care then."

Ochaco pouted, but blushed. "... I just... I like him... ever since he saved my life..."

"We know. You keep saying that at every chance." Tsuyu answered.

"Pot meet kettle..." Ochako stated dryly.

"True. No sense in denying that~"

The only indicator their words affected her was the blush on her face.

Momo sighs. "Anything else? Did anyone come up with a name for our group or anything?"

"Green Angels?" Melissa tried.

"That was already thought up," Yui stated.

"Oh! Didn't know that."

"Green Tea Girls?" Ochaco said, smirking.

"Down with the Ego." Reiko answered, rolling her eyes.

Ochako actually looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Really? We KNOW your name and Izuku's together forms the word Green Tea, don't play dumb."

"... This is the same girl that thought Deku was short for Dekiru..." Jiro reminded them.

"I really thought that was the case," Ochako answered, face going nuclear.

"I see we don't really have anything else to add. Any questions before we call this meeting to an end and rejoin the others?" Istuka asked. Everyone shook their heads no.

"Wait, has Mei said anything in this conversation?" Jiro asked.

"...So this place exists in another dimension? How does it work?" Mei was heard mumble to herself while she looked around.

"I don't think she actually heard a word. But she IS open-minded, so..." Momo banged her gavel. "Meeting adjourned."

______________________________________________________________________________

(Kitchen)

Izuku was in the kitchen again, but wasn't cooking, but was looking at his scarred wrist. "Can I fix my hand with food..?" he muttered to himself. He hadn't thought about it, but now, after what he saw, he was considering it.

"If you want to, I do believe you can." Zaus answered.

Izuku eeped in surprise, hiding his scars. "Z-Zaus-sensei! When did you-?"

"We are one, you can't and don't need to hide things from me, have no fear, I won't judge."

Izuku sighs. "Sorry... I just don't want people to worry about me..."

"It's not bad to ask for help, remember?" Zaus reminded Izuku.

"I know... but I've already got so much help..."

"Did you force them?"

"No, but-"

"Did you whine or begged until you got help?"

"No, but-"

"Did they help you willingly?" Zaus asked.

"I...I think so?"

"Then up until now you did nothing wrong, but I respect your wish to continue on your own. It is up to you."

"... Can you help me fix my arm...? Me and Eri's?"

"Of course." Zaus answered, smiling gently.

"Thank you. I'm sorry if I'm asking for to-" Izuku started, but was slapped over the head by Zaus.

"I already said yes. For the love of Good Food, you are not a bother to everybody around you! You are in dire need of some self-esteem, it's baffling! I assure you that SHOULD somebody doesn't want to or be unable to help, they would say so! You just need to ask gently! So stop thinking so lowly of yourself, Acacia-dammit!"Zaus growled.

"Sorry... Years of bullying tend to make it hard to push past things..." Izuku stated, looking sheepish. "I've gotten better... I just... I feel like sometimes... I'm not good enough..."

"Yes, I noticed. For now let's fix those scars, then...We'll see."

"So what are we making?" Izuku asked him.

"Something simple, just to not take away too much time should they decide to continue watching the other you."

Izuku nodded, getting to work on making the dish.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Training Room)

Everyone that had gotten gifts that were used for combat and/or for their Quirks were in the training room to test them out.

"So I got a super guitar...I wonder if I can pair it with ny Quirk...'' Jiro muttered. Just then a sheet with all the powers of Guitar Solos and fighting moves appeared in front of her. "Neat! At least I won't string at random!" She tested the one called "Battle Cry" doing all the cords and movements shown. When she did it, everyone who heard it felt like they gained a power boost for a short time.

"Eeehy! Life's easier if you turn it into an RPG! THAT'S USEFUL!" Kaminari said, excited.

Jiro felt her Earjacks and saw they had the same glow as the other with their weapons and hero outfits. "This is useful." She then just stumped a little tune.... Causing lighting to come down right in front of her.

"EEEEK!"

"Wo! Careful with that! We are not lightning proof!"

"I'm glad I did just a note then, that summons fire," Jiro stated. She reads the sheet. "Oh. It only hurts those I consider an enemy. So no one will be hurt."

"Convenient." Katsuki said with a smirk.

"I'll test out the others later," Jiro stated, putting her new guitar on her back.

With Mirio, he was seeing if he could use his Quirk again, wearing his new clothes.

"Ookay...Test 1...Non Naked Run...Ready?" He asked.

"Can't see why I have to be on Naked Duty, but yes." Tamaki answered, bitter.

"Nejire is too taken with learning the rules of that tabletop game... and she is a girl, it would be awkward,"

"Fine, Fine. Go on."

Mirio started to try and feel for the familiar effect of his Quirk, he then vanished in a blink, clothes included.

"... Mirio?" Tamaki asked, and as on cue his friend plopped out from the floor, still clothed.

"... Okay, this is working, I am still wearing everything. YES! No more letters of angry parents!"

"And you have your Quirk back as well," Izuku stated, looking happy for his friend.

"All thanks to you! COM'ERE!" the taller young man said, and soon crushing Izuku in a bear hug.

"Let him breath, moron," Tamaki said, huffing and yet showing a small smirk.

Mirio let him go, making Izuku take in deep breaths.

"Your life may have taken a strange turn, again, but this time I know only good things will come out. Please don't ignore your new Gift, you have been given the keys for something Miraculous." Mirio asked.

"I'm glad you're happy, I'm also working on something that'll remove my scars," Izuku stated.

"You sure?"

"Yes, they may symbolize how far I went, but... It's stupid... I want a clean slate. Is it strange?"

"I think it's rational, you'll be able to use your arm properly," Azaiwa stated.

"Sensei?"

"Yes, scars have a philosophical meaning, and can be a memento of important events and accomplishments. But between that and being in perfect form, for a Hero the latter is more important. You have trouble fully closing your right fist, that may hinder you and put innocent lives at risk. You will always remember how far you went, but you will need your body at 100% to go even further." he explained.

Izuku looked at his arm, and then clenched it, a determined look on his face. "I understand."

"Good. You may be a problem child, but at least you make up for it... Once or twice every blue moon." Aizawa answered, nodding pleased.

With Kendo, she was training again with Knocking Master to improve her technique, and learn some of the other fighting styles she acquired.

"Good! You are getting the hang of it! I like working with the New Generation, you youngsters are full of energy!" the old man said, chuckling.

"... Then can you please stop sitting on my back and let me get up? You won, no need to rub salt in the wound!" Itsuka said, grumbling.

"Hohoho! Okay, okay!" He gets off her, letting her stand up.

"It still feels weird trying to do that, not bad weird, just... strange," Itsuka stated. "Like I can feel everything around me at all times."

"That means it's working! You'll get used to it at first, then it will become second nature, like breathing. To the point you will be able to do amazing things out of instinct, meaning way faster than thought."

"Uh?"

"The brain wastes precious milliseconds to analyze and decide what to do. Instinct doesn't." Teppei explained.

Itsuka nodded. "I think I've heard of that from other masters as well."

"Hehehe! Because it's true and a nifty little trick to have up your sleeve," Knocking Master answered.

Itsuka stretched to get her body better. "So, I was wondering if you could help with the other fighting styles I gained?"

"I don't see why not~" Knocking Master started. "Be a good way to keep in good shape~"

"You are dead," Teppei said in a deadpan.

"And that's no excuse! Bwhahahaha!"

With Snipe, he was in a shooting range in the area, testing out his new firearms.

"Come on, baby, show me what you got..." he muttered, watching the small gauge displayed in the giant rifle scope.

BOOOM!

As soon as the charge was full and he released the trigger, the electromagnetic-charged bullet shot out, piercing the dummy and the block of concrete behind it like butter, exploding the block.

"... Holy hell, I am in love."

"Glad you like the gift," Xara stated, walking to him.

"Bullets must cost an eye of the head."

"Not really, the internal battery is rechargeable, and I am sure Power Loader can produce the bullets no problem. IF you let him study the gun."

"Oh! Okay! So I can keep it?"

Xara shrugged. "Sure, but don't let Mei get to it or it may have extra fetters added on."

"Girl will whine for a long time...Eh! That's Power Loader problem, not mine!"

"How are the revolvers? To your liking?" The Nobody asked the hero.

"I like them~ Almost as good as mine~"

"That's good."

______________________________________________________________________________

(Forge/Inventing Room)

Melk, Melissa and Mei were in a room for forging and building equipment, and were ready to build and learn to forge Melk knives.

"Now, I know you can forge normal knives with your eyes closed. MELK Knives though are a whole different beast, and even for somebody as talented as you two are, it may take a while. You ready?" Melk asked.

"I want to make new babies!" Mei shouted, a crazed smile on her face.

"I am, Melk sensei~" Melissa stated, being respectful.

"Good spirit. Let's start with the basics. Furnaces, temperature, hammering and of course, choosing materials."

"But that's boring!" Mei said, whining.

"Even if one of the metals explode if you hammer it the wrong number of times?" Melk asked, smirking.

"That's better!"

"... Why do I feel like you like things exploding?" Melissa asked.

"It tells me that it needs improvement~!" Mei shouted.

"Or that you are a pyromaniac," Melk answered.

"Libel! I am a scientist! The greatest!" Mei countered, and shrieked when Melissa chopped her on the head.

"I'll keep her grounded. Promise."

Mei just pouted at the two. "I'm not a little girl..."

"But you are as hyperactive as one," Melk stated, with a cheeky smile.

"YOU CAN'T REST WHILE BABIES ARE TO BE MADE!" Mei shouted loudly.

Melk and Melissa covered their ears from her shout.

"You will sleep when needed." Melk said.

"But-"

"NO BUTS! I am not your teacher letting you do as you please, young lady! We have a schedule and I will see it followed. No. Matter. What!"

Mei looked like she was told her puppy was killed when she was told that. "But... babies..."

"Discipline or nothing. If you don't like my methods, that's the door. We all deal in dangerous materials and inventions, and explosions are harmless in Animes only, not real life!"

Mei was fighting with her pride as an inventor or her willingness to learn something new. She looked like she was having an existential crisis. "But... babies... but new ways of making them... Sleep is for the unambitious... but if I don't learn this, I'll lose out on something grand..."

Melissa looked to Melk. "I think you broke her..."

"Better her belief getting broken than somebody ending up dead because an invention she made while half-asleep exploded. I got this scar on my eye by not being careful with a knife...I went this close at losing an eye forever. Safety is not a joke." Melk answered.

Mei slammed her head in the wall, hard, but no blood falling, causing the two girls to jump in startlement. "Fine..." Mei groaned out, her pride hurt. "I'll follow your lead sensei..."

"Put it like this... Imagine how proud Izuku-san will be of you if you make him a perfect knife without incidents."

Mei pouted at her. "No fair using Muscles against me..."

Melk and Melissa giggled at Mei, the two starting their lessons with Melk to make themselves new Melks of their world.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Weight Room Room)

Death Arm, Kamu Woods, Mount Lady and the Wild Wild Pussy Cats were in another training room that was for lifting weight instead of sparring or fighting. Death Arms was testing out his new power enhancing gear. He was lifting up dumbbells that were 1000 pounds, in each arm.

"ALRIGHT! LOOK AT ME! NEW RECORD! HA-AH!" Death Arms said in triumph.

Kamui Woods was trying out new ways with his Quirk to see if he could do what he read in some of the stories he read.

"So the guy would do this and it should..."

"Do you have to take those silly poses too?" Mt. Lady asked, laughing.

"S-Shut up! At least I'll be able to be more useful than you, you giant wrecking ball! Have you even learned to shrink yet!?"

"Hehehehe! BEHOLD! MINIMIZE!" she answered, turning rapidly into a miniaturized version of herself small enough to fit into a pocket, almost action figure size.

"... All luck." Kamui Woods answered with vitriolic scorn. He then finished the hand signs and out came a Wooden Dragon flying right at Mt. Lady.

"EEEEK! Careful where you shoot that, you wooden maniac!" the woman shrieked, and avoided the attack by turning just smaller enough for the thing to sail above her head.

"Hey, you were a good target to see if it worked, your ego is as big as your giant form and all," Kamui shot back. The two kept bickering at one another, both throwing attacks at times in anger.

"Either get a room or stop bickering!" Death Arms shouted in despair.

With the WWPCs they were training like old times. Mandely then stated. "I think I'm able to do two way communication with my Quirk now."

"Nice! At least it's useful now!" Tomoko answered.

"Why you!"

"Oh! I can see through walls now! NICE!" Ragdoll then added, smirking. "As well as locations of people through the Earth as well~ Like A sonic vibration~"

"... Naked boys?" Pixie-Bob asked immediately and forgot her own anger.

"Hormones down." Mandalay chided both.

"I actually missed all this, you had lost most of your spark, Tomoko." Tiger admitted with a loud sob.

"But now I am baaaack! Hahahaha!" the girl replied with a loud laugh. "I can even give locations to others to tell them where to direct people as well~! My Quirk is back, and stronger than ever~!"

"All thanks to our future husband." Pixide-Bob said.

"PIXIE!" Mandalay yelled, outraged.

"Oh, don't give me that, you want him as well!" Pixie stated. "Don't deny it!"

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" she shouted, he blush neon red.

"Wanna be the first?"

"Neither..."

"Group effort?" Tomoko said.

"No..."

"I see a crack in your conviction!" Pixie Bob said, smirking.

"That's not true!" Mandalay answered, whining.

"LIAR!" both girls answered, smirking cruelly.

"... I do think he's cute..." she admitted quietly. "I think he'd be a good father figure for Kota..."

"Then what's the problem?" Tomoko asked.

"WE ARE TOO OLD!"

"First off, fuck you! Age difference between us is not THAT LARGE." Pixie Bob said.

"And even then... What if he is into older women as well? Or even MILFs?"

"Pixie... Please, I beg you... Stop talking..."

"... Hey, didn't they say that Izuku's food can reduce a person's age?" Tiger asked his team. "I think I remember hearing that."

"More than reduce, hide it. Makes cells younger, but that doesn't mean Time goes backward. Seems like he will need to be God of Cooking or whatever to actually do that." Death Arms answered.

Pixie had a devil's smile. "So... We'll become forever 18~? Like I've always wanted~?"

"Seems like it." Kamui answered, shrugging.

Just then the speakers turned on. "Alrighter," Xara's voice called out. "Can Izuku please see up. We have five minutes before break ends, so we'd like to talk to him before it's over. Thank you."

"I hope it is not anything bad..." MT. Lady muttered in worry.

______________________________________________________________________________

(With Izuku)

Izuku was walking to where the five were waiting for him.

"I-I am in trouble?" he asked, gulping.

"Why are you asking that?" Joy asked, confused.

"This is Izuku, remember...?" Xara asked him flatly. "But no, you're not in trouble."

"T-Then why am I here?" Izuku asked.

"We're here to give you our blessings," Light stated.

Izuku looked confused. "H-Huh?"

"Blessing? Benediction?... Cheat Abilities usually seen in cheap Isekai? ... You know? Gifts from the Gods that make Life WAY EASIER?" Joy answered.

"This is to help you become the God of Cooking," the System stated. "It's part of the pathway to becoming one." The Thing siad, moving a mass of lines and colors like a tentacle through Izuku's chest until the boy felt it lightly poke his heart before retracting.

"What did you do?" Izuku asked, looking confused and seeing he wasn't hurt at all.

"I initiated you to the path of the God of Cooking. Done here there will be your Test," The System answered,

Gaia walked up to Izuku, putting a finger to his head. Just then what looked like a blue screen appeared in front of him, reading; [Welcome New Gamer].

"This is the [Gamer]," Gaia stated. "You now have the life of an RPG character."

"Sometimes it felt like one already," Izuku admitted, sheepish.

"Then now you will have the perks too," the Goddess answered laughing. "As well as increasing your [Abilities], Quirks and normal made ones~ You already have the two basic ones that come with the power, [Gamer's Mind] and [Gamer's Body]."

"... What are those?" the boy asked.

"You can read their effects~" Gaia stated. "You can do that with your powers~ You do have [Status] and [Menu] to look at them~" She hands him a book called, "The Guide to The Gamer". "You can download this to understand better~"

"How do I-?" Izuku asked but was stopped when another textbox appeared.

This is the special book,

[The Guide to The Gamer]

Do you wish to learn this?

Y/N

Izuku looked lost, but pressed the Y. When he did, the book turned into blue particles and flew into him.

Congratulation!

You have now unlocked The Gamer's Guide!

You may look through the guide by saying [Guide].

"Uh! Sounds handy!"

Gaia smiled at him. "This will help you through your journey~"

"Do we give him something now?" Xara asked the other two.

"... Oh well... Okay!" Joy said with a shrug.

Xara summons a guitar, a green one that looks like Eddies. "This may help you, has the same effects as Jiro's as well."

"T-Thank you," Izuku thanked, taking it.

"Stay still." the eye said before roughly tearing away Izuku's arms.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Oh, don't be so melodramatic! Here!" the Eye commented while shoving two new arms in place on the old ones.

"There! No more broken bones for you! Happy?"

The other four glare at Joy. "Did you have to do it that way!?" they shouted at him.

"He is a tough cookie, not a wimp. Believe in him as I do."

"Couldn't you have done it like the System there...?" Xara asked flatly.

"In hindsight. Sorry, Icchan." Joy answered, looking sheepish. He was rightly hit over the head.

Light groans. "Sorry about that Izuku..." he apologized to the boy. He then healed and cleaned him up. "As for me, I'm giving you the most power weapon in the multiverse." He then summoned a Key Shaped Sword that looked like it was a mix of his hero outfit with some All Might parts for the handle and UA's logo as the Keychain. (A/N 1 )

Izuku was in awe of the weapon. "Wh-What is this?"

"It is called a Keyblade," Light answered. "It is a magical weapon that can do pretty much anything. I'll give you information on what it can do next break."

"And where do I keep-" As soon as he tried asking that, the giant key disappeared and he felt becoming a part of him.

"Uh! Neat..." Izuku admitted, impressed.

"You can even use your Quirk with it too," Light added.

"Cool~!" Izuku shouted, stars in his eyes.

"Anyways, we should get the back to the theater," Light sated, sending a message out to everyone to chrome back.

"Attention, please! We are about to restart projection! You are gently asked to return to the main room and take a sit! We are starting again from where we stopped!"

______________________________________________________________________________

(Theater)

A few minutes passed, and everyone was back in the theater, back in their seats.

"... You okay? You feel...Different?" Tokoyami asked, unsure.

"I'll explain later, promise." Izuku answered. "Let's just say, I got a power up."

"Damn hero protagonist with a harem EX stated..." Mineta grumbled out.

"Ah, shut it damn grape!" Katsui shouted at the midget.

"You know what? If it happens, it happens! And I will make them damn happy! DEAL WITH IT!" the green haired boy snapped.

The deities looked at Joy. "Did you do something to him?" Light asked him. "More than just the arm thing?"

"No." He said, clearing away a tear of pride. "He is just finally crawling out of his shell... I am so proud of him."

"Eh! The Nerd remembered he had a spine, it's about time!" Katsuki stated, smirking at Izuku.

"It's unfair!"

"Then don't be a cliche super pervert and stop treating girls like a walking ass to grab, THEN we'll talk. Grow a character instead of a stereotype,"

"... You managed to get on Midoriya's nerves too. That must be a fucking record." Tetsutetsu admitted, impressed.

"Not even I was able to do that," Monoma stated.

"You don't share classes and living space with him. He is a continuous test of self-control to noy commit murder." Momo admitted with a groan.

"YOU TOO!"

"We all, Grapes. We all daydreamed of killing you at least once a week, even Tenya." Mina answered.

Tenya looked sheepish. "It's more of wanting to put him in prison than killing him, let the court do the deed."

"You will not kill him," Aizawa stated sternly, using his Quirk on them all. "But I will be keeping a sharper eye on him."

"Looks like these kids are getting more and more interesting," Zebra stated. "I was able to test my new powers with those two knuckleheads. Helped them out as well."

"You Tested them and they are alive? Was your updated power Self-restraint?" Toriko asked.

"Say that to my face if you have the guts!"

"There you are, now I recognize you!"

"Stop bickering, kids." Coco asked, rolling his eyes.

"Okay, no need to fight," Rin stated. "We're here to watch. Save the fighting for the break."

The two huffed and looked away.

"Alright, let's begin," Light stated, turning the lights down and starting the show.

A Chef Rebirth chapter 3:

Punishing Troublemakers.

Number 4 Yavin Street – Green Cloud Restaurant -

It has been a month since Izuku opened the restaurant the System provided for him, and even if the pool of customers was so thin many in his place would have fallen into despair, the young man instead treated it as a challenge to improve himself.

He also got visited by the Department of Hygiene at least once a week, thanks to Samui's colleagues as the old man from I-Island informed him, but other than acting prissy and stuck-up, those morons were always forced to run away with their tails between their legs once seen the immaculate restaurant being a step close at being sterile like a hospital operating room.

"Trying using underhand tactics now?" Nemuri asked, huffing.

"It is strange to have Health Inspectors come so frequently. I too believe there is something fishy going on." Komatsu admitted.

"They must really want you to pay for what you did..." Mt. Lady stated, looking unhappy at their actions.

Izuku groaned and muttered out, "It's Middle School all over again..."

"Big and frail Ego do that." Setsuno answered, sighing.

"Three more cockroaches have been removed." the System alerted Izuku inside his head.

"Those guys sure are persistent, one would think that after two weeks they would have understood that strategy was just a waste of time." Izuku muttered with a sigh, by now aware that one of Samui's friends was using her Quirk to manipulate cockroaches and other vermin into forcing their way in his restaurant, those poor things though would last barely an instant before being disintegrated by the System itself leaving nothing behind.

"There have also been two instances of crooks being sent to contaminate the restaurant's water pipes, Whitey has took care of them before they could manage. While the restaurant's water and electricity come from the System, the other restaurants around it shall not be damaged by brain-dead simpletons." the metallic voice added.

Koda looked angry that someone would force animals to do such a thing, being the animal lover and Anima Voice user he was. He was fine with the cockroaches being killed though.

"Whoa... I don't think I've ever seen Koda that angry before," Jiro stated in shock.

"Animals are not slaves, I-I don't like seeing people force them like that." the gentle giant admitted with a soft voice.

"Wait, he can actually talk?" Toriko asked, surprised.

"Didn't he talk before," Coco stated.

"... I guess he did, but he didn't say much."

"Koda-san is just one of those guys that talk only when they have something actually important to say." Izuku answered.

"S-S-Sorry."

"It's okay, Koda." Mina answered, patting his back. "Take your time. We're fine with your quiet type~ Makes you more mysterious to others~ Would be a good thing as your hero image~ The strong silent type that has a heart of a golden lion~!"

Koda only blushed, but had a giant smile on his face.

Another thing Izuku learned was that his Sponsor was a merciless entity that took its Mission of aiding the boy's ascension to God of Cooking of the Hero World very seriously, more often than not forcing him to BEG the System to not overdo and show mercy.

Giving the finishing touches to the udon noodles he was preparing, the young Chef gave a last shook to the wok to make sure the thick meat broth would mix with the noodles before moving the content into a cute white porcelain bowl decorated in tiny green clouds he then toppled with a spoonful of his homemade extra-strong chilly sauce.

"Blackie, time to eat!" Izuku said while moving the giant bowl of noodles in front of the big black dog sleeping in front of the restaurant, with the intense aroma of the dish catching the attention of the people passing by.

"Good God! That dog eats better than me!" a particularly sad man in a cheap business suit that had just ran-by mentally whined as he saw the gorgeous dish being served to a dog.

This made a lot of people laugh at that comment.

"Can't blame that poor guy! Those do look delicious!" Mic said, chuckling.

Just then, said dish appeared in front of them all, without the chili sauce.

"Joy?"

"That stuff is lethal in that dosage. We are not a mass-suicide cult. IF they want to test themselves they can do it later with the Tofu...You know what I mean." the Eye answered.

"... I was planning on only giving the challenge only, not what HE got," Light stated. "I will give rewards to those who do finish it though."

Everyone was just enjoying the food.

That was part of Izuku's new everyday life: once finished High School he had started working full-time in his new Restaurant, he actually slept in the small flat above the restaurant as well.

He would get up at dawn, get down to the restaurant kitchen to train his cutting and carving skills following the System's training regimen, then he would prepare the noodles for the black dog outside acting as secondary Security measure (always serving them in the bowl with Blackie written on it so to not mix it with the bowls for his customers) and then finally opening the restaurant properly for his customers.

"Imprise work schedule," Zaus stated.

"Thank you." Izuku answered, shy.

"A bit excessive?" Mina asked.

"Not really, I have a similar one, because when dealing with Special Ingredients, preparation is never enough. Sadly." Komatsu answered.

"Seriously...?" Mina asked in shock.

"Just think about the Puffer Whale, that is basically an easy Ingredient compared to many others, and yet you saw how complex it was to prepare it." Coco answered, gentle.

"... I know you told us this before... but the hell..." Death Arms stated.

"Is the food good?" Eri asked innocently at Toriko.

"Very good, if you want, we can tell you lots of stories about it." Toriko answered.

"Not now though, I want to see Izuku cooking," Kota stated.

The vast Main Menu was fixed and proudly displayed on a trio of wooden plaques carved with elegant calligraphy and hanging on the wall by the entrance, an extra and tiny blackboard next to them instead showed the four 'Dishes of the day' Izuku was free to decide daily based on his fancy. He even offered a small breakfast menu, although he had to wrangle with the System for days to do it, the Entity was just as obnoxiously strict as he was warned about.

"Good morning!" an elderly voice said as a very short woman with long white hair passed by the restaurant while using a tall wooden staff like a pogo stick.

"Good morning, Oba-san!" Izuku answered as he watched the tiny old lady open her own Chinese restaurant in front of his.

"Buongiorno!" (Good Morning) Next came a plump boy dragging along his blond-haired and thinner brother to open the Italian restaurant next to Izuku's.

"EH! That is one spirited granny!" Katsuki said amused.

"Eh, that's normal," Coco stated.

Tina nodded in agreement. "Seems normal to me."

"You say that...But if I try doing that my poor back will become history..." Recovery Girl admitted sighing.

"Not yet at least," Setsuno stated.

"You have super cells in your body, that's cheating."

"Hi!" the green-haired Chef answered, waving at both and getting, as usual, a death glare from the blond twin before both disappeared inside their store, "Aldini's".

"All this hatred just because I made pizza once as my Dish of the Day...That guy needs to learn how to chill like his brother does." the young man muttered while returning inside his kitchen to prepare for the new day.

"So he still got a Katsuki to deal with?" Mineta asked.

"Oh, FUCK OFF! I am not that bad!" Katsuki answered.

"Not you, that you..." Mineta stated, pointing to the screen.

"Getting confused?" Kaminari asked.

"A bit." the midget admitted.

"It does get confusing at times," Nighteye agreed.

Some Time Later – Lunch Break Rush-hour -

Tensei Iida, also known as 'The Turbo Hero: Ingenium', was starving.

Being a full-time Pro Hero meant that nine times out of ten he could not have a proper schedule to manage his private life, meaning that more often than not he had to sustain himself on sandwiches eaten in a rush, sometimes even eaten mid-chasing of a Villain, or like what happened that day, skipping breakfast altogether because a moron decided to make a nuisance of himself at the crack of dawn and take a gas station hostage to show his woman he was not a loser.

The Pro Hero still failed to wrap his head around the man's reasoning even after delivering him to the Police Force.

Gorororororo!

"Brother...Control yourself..." Tenya muttered in shame.

"I am more curious about the thought process behind the guy taking over a gas station for that..." Aizawa admitted.

"Maybe it had something to do with his Quirk," Izuku theorized.

"Or he was just a moron." Setsuna answered.

"Equally possible." Izuku admitted.

"Or the girl he liked had a Quirk where she needed to drink Gasoline," Inko added. "I've seen people who had to eat or drink items that normal people can't due to my husband's job."

"... And you call our world bizarre..." Sunni stated flatly.

"Matter of perspective." she answered.

"Life as a Pro Hero is hard, isn't it?" one of the Police Officers nearby asked, chuckling, once heard the soft growling of Tensei's belly.

"Very time-consuming, Tsukauchi-san." the Pro Hero admitted, sheepish.

"Well, I was about to have lunch, you can tag along if you want," the Detective offered with a kind smile.

"Don't mind if I do, last night my Dinner was some scraps of leftovers warmed in the microwave and today I skipped breakfast...It almost makes me regret moving out to live on my own." Tensei answered, sighing in dismay.

A lot of pros that had the same problem groaned in annoyance. Having time to make something before work was hard.

"God, last week I had to eat mid-chase too. That is a choking hazard!" Rumi said with a sigh.

"I am-" Mineta TRIED saying.

"Finish that sentence and you shall be pulled inside-out!" Zebra hissed. Mineta only gulped in fear.

"Usually I'd be appalled by your response... but for that welp, I'll make an exception," Sunni stated.

"We are trying everything I swear, but no solution sticks." Mina said.

"I can stick it everywhere no problem!"

"...Exactly." Momo added, looking desperate.

"I can make him learn it," Zebra stated, cracking his knuckles. Mineta only turned pale white.

"Maybe later." Kirishima answered, and all of them easily ignored the short guy look of betrayal.

"It's the price to pay for independence. Come with me, I will take you to a small restaurant I know of, I have to be there for a small job as well, at least we'll grab a bite of something nice." Tsukauchi answered, signaling at the other to follow him to his personal service car.

"A small job?" the Pro Hero asked while sitting on the passenger seat.

"In the last month that restaurant has been visited by Hygiene Inspectors a total of fifteen times, and today we got a heads-up about them trying again with a forged order to enter the kitchen proper, something they failed to do previously. The Snitcher asked us to stop this nonsense once and for all, together with arresting the Food Critic that has been handsomely paid to destroy the Restaurant's Reputation today as well." Tsukauchi answered.

"... Good way to stop them, have Pros eat and watch the place," Nezu stated, smiling in agreement.

"Oh, yes. Definitely doing that for their job only. Not because they like it." Knocking Master said, smirking.

"What if we do that for the food too, hn?!" MT. Lady demanded, pouring.

Toriko shrugged. "Not a bad reason, good food always helps."

"And you yourself moved for this?" Tensei asked, surprised.

"Can you keep a secret?"

"It comes with the job, Detective. If it is an official Mission of the Police Force I will take the secret to my grave."

"Good. The Snitcher is at the head of one of the labs in I-Island, the secret ones." the other answered, making the Pro Hero bristle in surprise.

"Whoever is behind that harassment is targeting one of the 'Darlings' of I-Island?" Tensei asked in dread.

"So it seems." the Detective answered with a grimace.

The 'Darlings of I-Island' were a rumored tiny group of people that had caught the interest of the more secret side of the lone island very few in the Hero Business actually knew existed.

The Darlings were usually people with curious Quirks or other strange abilities those scientists studied from afar and wanted NOTHING to interfere with so to keep collecting data; messing with a 'Darling' was just suicide as the people studying them had lots of connections and were not afraid to use them to see the annoyances gone forever.

All the students paled at this.

"Oh! So the rumors are true, I-Island does have a special interest for peculiar Quirks. And they call those Darlings. Very interesting! Yahahahahaha!" Nezu said with a chilling laugh of amusement.

"Ah, yes! As if those guys needed to catch your interest any more." Toshinori said in dread.

"So Izuku is one of these Darlings in this world, I see," Tina stated, nodding in understanding.

"Seems to be expected, considering they think he is Quirkless, and still with strange abilities." Present Mic answered.

"... You think I'll be like that, or all of us since I have more abilities than this version of myself?" Izuku asked.

"Most likely," Nezu admitted.

Izuku didn't know how to feel about that.

"Oh! They will regret it if they try anything, promise! My students are not guinea pigs. Yahahahaha!"

"We know full well who is behind this harassment: several high-ranking Chefs friends of that chef Samui that just recently recovered from his mental breakdown. After today we will make it clear that this kind of Mobbing is illegal and that there will be consequences if they don't stop. Same goes for the Food Critics that won't be professional and just write what the best offer tells them to, instead of the truth." Tsukauchi explained.

"And here I thought Villains would only kidnap, steal or kill..." Tensei muttered, surprised.

"You would be shocked to see how vicious the world of Cooking is, those guys would gladly stab each other in the back for an extra star on their restaurant. Here we are, we will have lunch there, at number 4." The Detective answered once parked the car and pointed at the restaurant not too far away from the parking lot.

"Green Cloud Restaurant, never heard of it." Tensei admitted, both walking leisurely towards the place with the Pro Hero waving back at the awed kids they met along the way.

Tenya fixed his glasses, a smile on his face. "Looks like my brother will be enjoying himself like us."

"Will he moan when eating, I wonder?" Monoma asked with a cheeky smile.

"LIBEL! WE TENYA ARE NOT SAVAGES!"

"Jeez, relax! He was kidding." Jiro answered, rolling her eyes.

"... I will admit, it would be weird if he did do that..." Iida stated. "Though he is more flexible than I am at times."

Izuku whispers to Monoma. "He looks up to his brother, like I do with All Might," he explained. "So you just insulted his personal hero by saying that."

"I heard he is stuck on a wheelchair... Can you... You know... Fix him?" Monoma whispered back.

"I think so?"

"Pretty new construction, inaugurated a month ago and owned by a Trading Company specialized in Ingredients Delivery. They just opened their own store and got a young promising Chef to cook for them. The Dishes are slightly more expensive than restaurants offering similar menus, but the kid's talent is astounding, even as a Quirkless, and between that and the overall quality of the stuff he makes, nobody seems to mind. He should be the same age as your brother, actually." Tsukauchi said.

"The same age as Tenya? And he already has his own Restaurant?" Tensei asked, shocked.

"Yep! He even got all the papers filled to be a proper Chef, I checked their validity myself. He is even a full-fledged Itamae, the youngest registered." the Detective answered.

(Itamae: Literally 'Sushi Chef', a title traditionally given to people that have certified Mastery over the skills and knowledge needed to prepare PROPER Sushi)

"Holy hell!" Kinoko shrieked.

"Not so surprising, honestly." Itsuka answered.

Mina whined, "Why are we learning, we aren't in school right now..."

"It's just a single word, nothing too extreme. I bet there will be more cooking soon." Izuku answered, as if to try comforting her.

"Still, did we need to have that popup explanation appear...?" Mina asked, with a pout.

"At least it was short and to the point." Izuku answered.

Mina could only pout more.

"What?"

"I saw him in action for that, the kid's a Monster. I showed the video to an old acquaintance of mine, and he himself certified the kid as worthy of the title and then some."

"Now I want to eat there then! Huhuhu! Hard working youths are always nice to see," Tensei answered, smiling pleased.

"Just like your little brother, maybe?" Tsukauchi asked, smirking.

"Maybe I am a bit biased, but yes." the other replied, just as amused.

Iida had a light blush after hearing what his brother said about him.

"I envy you, Tenya-san. Must be nice to have such a cool big brother." Izuku said with a small smile.

"It's a great honor, yes."

"Tenya is kind of your big brother if you think about it, Izu!" Toru said.

Iida looked confused. "How so?"

"Well you are strict, but not to the point where it's annoying," Tsu stated bluntly.

"You care about everyone's well being," Mezo stated, having one of his arms become a mouth.

"And you are there whenever we need. So, yeah, I can see that being the case." Mina added.

"My Gosh... I am touched that you see me like this." Tenya admitted, touched.

"Seems he's like Kendo, the big sister of our class," Jurota stated. Said girl only blushed.

"Hehehehe! We are very blessed, aren't we?" Kaminari admitted, amused.

Dling! Dling!

The little bell on top of the door chimed happily as the duo entered the place, beside other two people inside, they were the only customers.

"Sure is empty, though..." Tensei muttered, saddened.

"It happens when they try to scare your Customers away, the restaurant's popularity is rising, but it's a very slow process. Luckily the kid doesn't seem to mind." the Detective answered, moving to sit at a table next to one of the trees.

"What plant is this? I never saw it before...Are those runes imprinted on the leaves?!" Tensei asked.

"Before you ask, those plants will be explained," Light stated, stopping the questions that he knew were going to be asked of the five.

"The System brought them to your world there as part of the Restaurant. Their nature will be disclosed soon, please be patient." System added.

There a few grumbles, but the watchers applied, going back to the story.

"I have no clue, I just know that if I sit here my stress melts away, so I don't really mind if the leaves ring like a bell if you flick them. These small trees smell nice, look nice and feel nice, that's all I need to know." the other replied with a shrug and a very relaxed expression.

"Ring like-" Ding! "Holy Heavens, they do!"

"Please do not touch the leaves, those two plants are an endangered species," Izuku asked while coming out of the kitchen to address the two new customers.

"And you use them as afforestation for your restaurant?"

"My Sponsor is a little eccentric, I learned to not question them too much. What can I bring you?" Izuku answered with a shrug, he knew those two trees came from another world, but his customers certainly didn't need to know that.

Everyone gave a flat look to the System, saying, 'Really...?'

"Only the best to assure the Host's specifics for the Restaurant are met. If said best comes from other words, the required pieces will be collected from other worlds. No matter what." the Thing answered.

"I know... but you tend to go way overboard at times..." Xara stated bluntly.

"The System won't apologize."

"I couldn't help but hear about your beef udon noodles, I think I will try those, thank you." Tsukauchi asked.

"Of course. Mister Ingenium? What can I bring you?"

"So you know me?"

"The costume is telling enough, I am a fan." Izuku answered, smiling wide.

"Remind me to leave you an autograph then. I think I will take a portion of those Rainbow Steamed Fish Buns I see in the menu and a plate of Stir-Fried Shrimp Noodles, thank you." Tensei answered while finally taking-off the helmet of his Hero Costume.

"Good to see I still like heroes..." Izuku let out a sigh of relief.

"I don't think that will ever change, Deku-kun. It's part of who you are." Ochaco answered.

"But why did I give away my All Might items...?" Izuku asked.

"I have a bad feeling about that..." Toshinori admitted.

"... Ooh! You think he only dislikes YOU specifically!" Nighteye said in realization.

Said hero looked away. "I... may have said something to him, when I was still in my bad place... Something I regretted after seeing him in action to save someone."

"You were not thinking rationally. And maybe that you did not make up for it?"

"Maybe," was all he said.

"I will bring them immediately. Do you also want something to drink or will water suffice?" Izuku asked.

"Water will be enough, we both are still on duty." Tsukauchi answered.

"Okay, please wait a moment and I will bring everything to you." the young man answered before walking back into the kitchen.

"Apparently he is very fast at cooking, but nothing is pre-made, so we won't wait much before eating." Tsukauchi said.

"You came here to eat before?"

"I usually have breakfast here since his coffee and croissants are to die for, this is the first time I visit him for lunch."

"Oh!"

"Can we?" Pony asked.

"They are about to order lunch... I don't think you should mix the two." Itsuka answered.

"Oh, poo... I guess you are right."

"Well you'll get both dishes to eat," Light stated. "Would be unfair if you could smell the food without eating it."

"Ok...But I want those croissants during our next pause!" Pony asked.

"Fine, you'll have those." Joy said, rolling his eye-body.

"YESSSS!"

Meanwhile – in the kitchen -

The giant kitchen had been furnished, under Izuku's request, with every possible high-end apparatus an aspiring 'God of Cooking' may need to reach said flamboyant Title, but what the young man loved the most was the HUGE table in the middle of the room occupied by an exquisite-looking giant cutting board in reddish wood adorned by delicate carvings of Ingredients of every kind framing it, that and the insane collection of knives of every possible shape waiting for him next to it.

"...I miss that Dragon knife, that thing could cut like a dream..." Izuku muttered with a sigh of dismay, having taken a large, fat fish from the cold storage of his kitchen and the plain knife from the rack next to the chopping board.

"Host Izuku will be able to unlock the 'Silver Sea Dragon kitchen knife' once unlocked 3 'God of Cooking Fragments'. Fragments currently owned: 1." The System answered.

Melk loved that knife as well. It was a work of art. If she could, she would try to make something just as good, if not better.

"I need to see it in detail. How long before he unlocks it for real?" She asked the System.

"Host should be able to acquire it soon," the System stated.

"Very well. I can wait a bit more."

"I CAN'T!" Mei admitted.

"Wait, didn't our Izuku acquire it from winning the challenge?" Melissa reminded them. "... Or was that a different cooking implement...?"

"Oh no..." Izuku muttered in horror.

"It was indeed the same." The System answered.

All three girls turned to said boy. Izuku then remembered. "Hey wait, don't you have the blueprints for it as your prize Melk?"

"He's right," Komatsu remembered. "You have the notes on how to craft God tear knives."

"Yes, but watching the finished product done as it is intended will give me a clear end goal, and what to improve upon."

Izuku sighed in defeat. "Fine, next break you three can watch."

"Better work hard then," he muttered while removing the scales on both sides of the fish and opening its belly with a fast swipe of the knife so as to delicately separate the fillet from the skin and bones.

Once washed away the blood and the guts, the young Chef rapidly cut the fish fillet into thin slices barely an inch wide, few plump shrimps too went rapidly de-shelled and quartered while the ginger root went sliced into literal hair-thin strings, same going for the other vegetables, like carrots and red onions.

The Rainbow in the Dish name was not a fancy choice, the inside of the dumplings was actually pretty colorful thanks to the Ingredients used, enough to let Izuku use such prose to name it.

Once sure every colour was ready, the young man started mixing flour and water to prepare the wrapping for the dumplings, and as the System taught him, by infusing Gourmet Energy in the mixture while kneading it he made its consistency thicker at an astounding rate.

"Good rhythm!" Komatsu said.

"Is it?" Pony asked, looking confused. "I don't know a lot about cooking."

"He is going very fast, which means he is good." Setsuno explained with a gentle smile.

"I see."

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Loud slapping noises echoed in the kitchen as Izuku's Gourmet Energy infused hands kept slapping the ball of dough on the cutting board, making it ripple heavily as the energy influx forced the dough to flip inside-out by itself at each slap.

When the young Chef finally stopped kneading and slapping the dough, the resulting smooth ball had a lustrous luster to it similar to marble and a faintly springy texture, making Izuku develop a small, satisfied smile.

"Perfect!" he declared, pleased, as he started preparing the wrappings by taking tiny portions of the dough ball he then flattened into extremely thin disks he painted in egg white and then filled with the fish fillet stripes and the other ingredients before wrapping the thing closed.

"... Still taking notes?" Mic asked.

"Shut up." Lunch Rush answered. "I got to know how to do this."

Once the wrapping was completed, layers upon layers of creases appeared at the opening and the dumpling looked like a crescent moon. It was so beautiful that it was like a work of art.

"Dumplings are ready, now while they are in the steamer, let's prepare the noodles!" once put the six dumplings into the bamboo plate of the steamer, Izuku used the remaining dough to prepare the beef noodles for the Detective and the shrimp noodles for Ingenium, with the beef ones being one of the recipes he was most used to make since Blackie would eat a giant bowl of those twice a day as a payment for his services as Security, as the dog's rapidly inflating belly could testify.

https://cdn.fodors.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Dumplings-Har-Gow.jpg

"Troublemakers!" it was when he had started preparing the Hand-pulled noodles that Izuku heard Whitey move away from his corner of the kitchen to march outside with heavy steps.

Sigh! "Another one. What is with this Dine-and-Dash craze nowadays? There isn't a restaurant here that hasn't got one fool trying it at least once a week." Izuku muttered with a sigh, unwilling to stop cooking just to deal with some punks. He had Whitey for that sort of things.

"For the love of God! Even as a Chef he can't catch a break! Does somebody hate you?" Toshinori asked.

"NOT US!" Joy answered immediately.

"I think it's Izuku's high luck in finding trouble and adventure," Light stated. "He does want to be a hero, so luck has it that he'll be in the middle of them, being your universe's linchpin."

"I didn't ask for that though. I just wanted to be a Hero in the Normal way." Izuku answered.

"So do most heroes..." Xara started flatly.

Outside the Kitchen – Main room of the Restaurant – Just a minute ago

Two brothers were occupying the table near the door, one short and thin, the other tall and muscular with broad shoulders; both had a similar Quirk giving them lizard-like appearances and thick skin covered in green scales, the tall one looked like a Human-Crocodile hybrid, the other resembled a lean human Gecko.

Tensei had noticed how the two kept stealing glances at the kitchen and then at the door once finished eating, and his hunch about the two being up to no good went confirmed when they both bolted away from the table and made a run for the door.

"STOP!'' The Pro Hero immediately ordered as he and the Detective jumped to their feet to stop the Dine'n'Dashers before they could actually leave the Restaurant without paying.

"That's my brother~!" Iida stated in pride.

"Stop fangirling, glasses!" Katsuki said, rolling his eyes.

"Do you always have to be so rude...?" Iida asked him, his sturn face on him.

"Yes. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside." Katsuki answered, completely honest.

"... You are to see me for consoling, Bakugou," Hound Dog stated.

"What!? Why!?" Katsuki shouted.

"Because you need it..."

"Nerd?"

"..."

"Nerd... Please say something.... Come on..."

"..."

"That is petty. And you should feel bad about it!" Katsuki shouted while pointing an accusing finger at Izuku.

"Call it karma for all you did in middle school and younger..." Izuku stated, dryly. "And you do need it."

"Oh, shots fired~!" Mina shouted.

Zebra was laughing at the roast Izuku gave to Katsuki.

Zaus smiled at his reincarnation. "Good show of backbone kid~!"

Katsuki only grumbled.

SLAM!

To their surprise the doors closed by themselves and no amount of pulling and pushing seemed able to make the glass door bulge, even under the titanic strength of the bulkier brother.

"You are supposed to pay for what you eat, guys. This food is clearly not cheap." Tsukauchi said with narrowed eyes.

"What if we don't want to pay, old man? The Chef is a Quirkless brat, we owe him nothing!" the bulkier brother hissed in contempt.

"Yeah, he can offer a bite to some guys, what's wrong with being generous?" the thin brother added, shamelessly laughing.

"Nothing wrong. Just as there is nothing wrong in making lizard soup, lizard roast and lizard cutlets, with gator jerky on the side!" Setsuno answered, smiling.

"... Somebody wanna switch seats? ... Please?" Tina asked, more like pleading, scared out of her wits.

"No thanks," everyone stated, scooting away from the older chef.

"Cowards..." she grumbled.

"It's wrong because the Chef of this place is trying to make a living, he is not here to cook for you just as a hobby." Tensei replied.

"Aaah, yes...a Pro Hero." the muscle giant said with a sneer once recognized Tensei as Ingenium.

"Something wrong about my Profession too?" he asked, eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Swaggering aside, I was supposed to be a Pro too, before your lot kicked me out of school for a minor incident," the punk answered, growling.

"Minor incident?"

"Now I remember. You are Naofumi Tokagemaru, you tore-off the legs of one of your classmates because he was, allegedly, flirting with a girl you liked...A girl later discovered was the guy's sister, so naturally close to him. You may not remember, but it was me who took you to Juvenile after that incident. I am surprised you are still up to causing trouble." Tsukauchi said.

"I remember that case. Very messy." Nighteye said with a frown.

"Should he still be in juvenile though," Mt. Lady asked, looking confused, hearing about this case.

"We would need to ask Tsukauchi..."

"He was dragged out of UA in chains in our version too. And last time I checked he was still in solitary confinement." Nezu confirmed.

"The weakling was getting in the way, can't see where the problem is," the bulky brother answered, scoffing.

"And the fact the girl was not interested in you?"

"Just foolishness, I was supposed to be the next All Might thanks to my power, but I guess you others were just jealous. She would have come around sooner or later."

"So harassment AND violence brought forth by inflated Ego. You are no Hero material," Tensei declared.

"BULLSHIT!" The giant said while punching the table next to him, but to his shock even with all the strength he used while striking it, the wood table did not crumble to splinters like he expected, on the contrary, not even the plates and glasses on it moved at all.

"...What the fuck is that table made of?" the thin brother blurted-out.

"Troublemakers!" from inside the kitchen the metallic voice of Whitey the robot rang in warning as the tall thing slowly made its way towards the twins.

Measuring two-and-a-half meters in height, the chalk-white robot struck an imposing figure even with a bulging, soft round belly and a bald round head adorned just by two big round eyes shining in white light giving it a kind of cute appearance, the robot would normally just stand in a corner of the kitchen and peek out to the main room to keep everything under control, and only coming out when trouble arose inside the Restaurant to forcefully evict the Troublemakers.

"How high is that in feet?" Pony asked.

"A little over 8.2 feet." Izuku answered.

"Thank you~" Pony thanked.

"A pretty big robot, that's for sure," David stated. "It's an amazing piece of technology."

"Thank you." The System answered with a monotonous tone.

"Uh! I heard rumors about the Restaurant's Bouncer, I guess it is taking action under the Chef's orders." Tsukauchi said while watching the thing move with heavy steps until it stood in front of the bulky brother and actually towering over the guy by a head.

"You don't scare me, tin-can!"

"Troublemaker, pay the bill before leaving, or you will be punished accordingly." Whitey ordered, eyes flashing from white to red at regular intervals.

"What if I don't want to pay, eh? Your Boss is a Useless Quirkless shit, what will he do if I don't pay, eh?!"

"...What did you call me?" Izuku's voice echoed in the room as he came out of the kitchen just long enough to glare at the twins.

"I called you a Useless Quirkless! So Wha-"

"I hate being called Useless. (Deku). Whitey! If they insist on not paying, punish them! They are officially blacklisted from entering my Restaurant!" the young man ordered sharply, cutting-off the guy so abruptly the punk painfully bit his own tongue.

Never mistake Izuku's gentle disposition and good manners for weakness, after a lifetime as Zaus, he had learned to believe in himself enough to HATE his old nickname as 'Useless', he knew he wasn't and detested being wrongly labeled as such.

"..."

"Nothing to say, Bakugo-san?" Shoto asked.

"... I ain't messing with Deku when he gets like that..." he stated.

"Uh?"

"I do have survival instinct, thank you. I rarely listen to it, except in emergency situations."

"Pussy!" Rumi said.

"I watched him tie a dumbbell into a knot once because he was in coffee withdrawal and was nervous, I know my limits."

"And what did we say about calling others weak for working together...?" Toriko reminded, raising an eyebrow to the rabbit heroine.

"Jeez! You people are no fun!"

"Aah yes! Rumi escape plan no. 1! Just a joke, bro!" Ryukyu answered, rolling her eyes.

"Hey! Who's side are you on!?" Rumi shot back.

"I have no idea what you're talking about~" Ryukyu stated, with a plastic smile.

Rumi just grinded her teeth in frustration.

"Understood." Whitey nodded while the Young Chef merely returned inside the kitchen to finish cooking.

"I said I won't pay!"

"Me neither!" the thin brother added.

"Then you will need to come with me," Tsukauchi said, sighing, as he really REALLY wanted to have lunch before any bullshit could fall on his lap.

To his surprise though, Whitey gently moved a giant hand in front of him to stop the Detective before addressing the twins again.

"Troublemakers, pay the bill." it said, again, with his robotic monotonous voice.

"Fuck you!" the tall brother said, spitting on the robot's face.

"Then you shall be stripped as an example to others!" Whitey declared.

"...Eh?!" the four men present exclaimed as one in shock.

"WO! Wo! Wo! WHAT?!" Mirio asked while immediately covering Eri and Kota's eyes.

"Disciplinary stripping has shown a success rate of 300%." System answered.

"Humiliation of one's pride stings worse than being arrested, and leaves a longer lasting effect and mental reminder for people," Xara stated.

"Don't worry, it'll be censored," Light stated.

"Censoring black bars activated!" Joy confirmed.

"I was going to go with pixelation," Light stated.

"Does it really matter...?" Gaia asked flatly.

Clang!

"FUCK!" faster than he could react, the bulky brother got his entire head grabbed by Whitey's big hand, with the robot effortlessly lifting him up from the ground until his legs dangled from the floor.

"LET ME GO!"

SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!

Tensei was actually surprised, just judging by the loud sounds of the guy's punches landing on Whitey's face, he could tell a common human would at best last two blows before being knocked unconscious thanks to the monstrous strength behind each hit, but the robot was unfazed as his head wasn't moving of an inch whenever a punch landed on it.

"Troublemaker is unwilling to comply. Beginning Stripping!" Whitey declared without mercy as his other hand grabbed the front of the guy's clothes.

"STRIP! STRIP! STRIP! STRIP!" Midnight chanted, a devil's smile on her face.

She was swatted over the head by Knocking Master. "Calm yourself."

She just pouted. "You're no fun..."

"You need help..." Aizawa stated flatly.

"Try a rolled-up newspaper." Zebra said.

"Tried that and failed." Mic answered.

"I'm not a dog!" she roars at them, her whip ready to hurt them.

"Nemuri-sensei! Please calm down!" Izuku begged.

"Not now!"

"Please let's calm down, we are all friends here. Return to your seats and let's continue watching." Light said with a placating tone.

Midnight just grumbled, but complied.

STRAAAAAAAP!

"Ah..." the buff lizard guy whimpered in shock as every shred of clothing on his person went torn away in a single motion, something that also showed that other than his biceps, down there nothing was actually 'Big' or 'Imposing'.

"What happened to the respect between people? To the respect of the Bro Code?!" the tall guy mentally whimpered while fat tears of shame fell from his eyes. His spirit had been shattered under such a shameless attack.

"NONONONONO! That's a Stripping Monster! The Robot is a Maniac!" The thin brother in the meantime ran back towards the door to slam his fists on it begging to be let out.

"That black bar is so small!" Mina said, laughing loudly.

"My God I can barely see it! BWAHAHAHAHA!" Rumi added.

Many boys felt relieved, while not overly equipped they were still WAY better put than that guy.

"It's not very nice laughing about his misfortune." Izuku said.

"Easy for you to say, Mister footlong." Mineta muttered in anger.

Clink! Clink!

The sound of Izuku bringing a small tray of freshly-baked bread and the cold bottle of water to the Pro Hero/Detective duo's table rang loudly inside the Restaurant, catching the full attention of everybody present.

"My Sponsor seems to have a twisted sense of humor. To them Stripping Troublemakers is an adequate answer and a good way to teach Humility and so they programmed Whitey accordingly, and it isn't even against the Law thanks to an old incident with a Pro Hero mistakenly stripping the Villain she was fighting against. Her avoiding being sued created a Precedent I can use to defend myself, so I suggest you pay the bill...Or you'll be next." Izuku explained with a calm tone.

"W-What?!"

"Sadly true. Laws against Public Nudity have become pretty lax nowadays, especially since a few Pro Heroes of both genders do need to show some skin to use their Quirks. Even if women are expected to show some modesty still. So unless he cripples you, he can actually get away with stripping you. Even if it would be better to leave at least the unmentionables untouched." Tsukauchi confirmed, sighing.

Midnight's eye twitched hearing this.

"All thanks to you. Feeling proud?" Aizawa asked.

"STFU!" Midnight roared. She was then handed a pillow that she was biting into and pulling in anger "It's not far! If it was so laxed, why was I singled out so much on my debut!!!???"

"Because you were just too hot..."

"..."

"What? I am a young teen! I CAN find a scantily clad woman hot!" Izuku shouted, offended.

"It's not that, you're just such a cinnamon roll at times, you don't seem to notice at times," Jiro stated, surprised at Izuku.

"Oh! I notice. I notice it ALL! Especially when you girls seem to go on a challenge about who can wear the tightest short shorts. I just do not leer or act on hormones. But I see it." he answered, blushing a bit in his confession.

"So many grandbabies~!" Inko squelied in joy.

"Ok, so he can be seduced. Takes a LOT to break his resolve, but it is feasible..." Momo muttered to the others.

"What?"

"NOTHING!"

"I will take note of it. Whitey? Collect the money for their bill, or punish them. Whichever they choose." Izuku instructed right before disappearing back into the kitchen.

"Understood." the Robot answered while dragging the ashamed-to-near-death naked bulky brother towards the thin one.

"Pay the bill, troublemaker, or face the consequences!"

"I...I...W-We don't have money with us! We forgot our wallets back home and just hoped to eat well and make a run for it! PLEASE HAVE MERCY!" the thin brother begged.

"No."

"Sorry, all out of mercy..." Izuku did his impression of Ghost Rider.

"Uhhmmmm!"

"Reiko?" Itsuka asked, unnerved.

"Sorry, it just sounded so hot I couldn't handle it."

"... It was good..." Itsuka agreed.

Ibara grabbed Izuku in her vines. "Release your hold on him you demon!" she ordered.

"... A Kiss on the cheek and I will do it." he said with a straight face.

"She can't really fall for that..." Kirishima muttered.

To prove him wrong, she kissed him on the lips.

"HEY!"

"... My Hero!" Izuku said normally.

"Good! Glad I could help."

"Come here, you. We'll talk later..." Itsuka growled while pulling her away by her ear.

"Owowowowow! What did I do!?" she asked in pain, not knowing what she did wrong.

"... He was playing you..." Yui stated dryly. "He was acting a part of a classic dark hero, Ghost Rider of Marvel Comics..."

"Oh! That! I know it! I just can't understand why you are angry at the kiss, he asked for it!" Ibara answered.

"He said on the cheek, not lips..." Momo stated dryly.

"Ops." Ibara said, not fucking sorry AT. ALL. "But I know you girls would have done the same thing." All of them looked away.

"I mean... she isn't wrong," Tamaki agreed.

"It wasn't even such a big kiss... This is." Izuku answered, tipping Ochaco back and pretty much scraping her tonsils with his tongue.

"..."

"See? Totally different."

Said girl just passed out, her face atomic red and her mind shut down. Some of the girls didn't know whether to laugh and cheek for her or feel jealous. Ochako awoke a minute later, blushing still on her face. Zaus was laughing at his reincarnation, knowing he was being better now.

"ME NEXT!" Mina and Pony shouted as one.

"Later." Joy answered.

WHAM! Striiiip! WHAM!

In answer the thin lizard brother too went stripped, although he was left in just his boxers, and both twins went then slapped by Whitey out of the Restaurant in a high fly drawing a rather beautiful arch in the air before both landed head-first into the big dumpster at the opposite end of the road with only their pale butts sticking-out from the pile of garbage inside the thing. Two exceptionally shiny asses, thanks to their scaled skin.

"Troublemakers dealt with." Whitey declared while delivering the IDs, phones, keys and a copy of the twins'bill to Tsukauchi while the torn clothes disappeared inside the literal bottomless hole the robot summoned once opened its soft big belly like a mouth.

Another function of Whitey was garbage disposal, and Izuku LOVED having a literal black-hole able to endlessly collect every scrap left by customers or his own practice cooking, everything just ceased to exist once swallowed by the robot.

Sigh! "Yes, I will make sure those two morons will get back their stuff and actually return here to pay the bill. Okay." The Detective merely accepted the silent request with a small shrug and watched the robot silently walk back inside the kitchen.

"This place does not joke around." Tensei commented, tersely, while the two returned to their table.

"It shouldn't," Coco agreed.

"Dine and Dash is a SERIOUS crime in our world." Toriko added.

"How serious?" Toshinori asked.

"Prison sentence for years and removal of the sense of taste." Zebra answered.

"... You're kidding..." Kamui stated, looking flatly at him.

"No. Chefs are sacred, and their craft even more so. So dine and dashing is seen as an act very close to blasphemy in many countries. So Honey Prison collects them and punishes them by removing their sense of taste for the duration of their prison sentence, sometimes as long as ten years for repeated offenses, and imprisoning them." Coco answered.

"Geez... And I thought our prisons were harsh..." Tiger stated, wincing.

"I'll go make a call to have the two collected, just call me when the food arrives." Tsukauchi finally understood he had to take care of the two naked and unconscious young men outside before they could run away, so with a heavy heart, he left the restaurant to do his job.

Although, both men's mood improved considerably when their food finally arrived and they could have their lunch in peace.

"Please enjoy your meal, and I apologize for the sad spectacle. I have no patience for Bullies and Troublemakers since because of one my life was almost forfeit. It's a scar that is still too fresh," Izuku explained with a small smile and a bow, and leaving the duo their order before moving to free and clean the table once occupied by the two lizard twins.

"His life was almost forfeit?" Tensei muttered, unsure.

"Something must have happened that almost killed him, I think I will give it a look into it." Tsukauchi answered while grabbing a hold of the noodles with his chopsticks to give them a tentative bite...

Just then the orders that were made appeared in front of everyone.

"YESSS! More Food!" Toriko and Fat Gums cheered, happily.

"So this is my brother's chosen order, I wonder how it is." Tenya wondered.

"Hey, kiddo! See to open a restaurant in our world too!" Rumi said.

"... Okay?" Izuku answered.

"It'll be added when the host meet's requirements," the System stated.

"Good. Then you will be able to pay for my lessons in food. Cook well and I will turn you into a real Hero."

"Bullcrap." Toshinori muttered with a low voice.

SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP!

An outrageously loud slurping noise soon echoed in the restaurant as the wide-eyed man pretty much inhaled the entire mouthful in raving hunger, his cheeks bulging like a hamster's as he loudly chewed on and on and on with half-lidded eyes of bliss.

Each bite felt like a massage was being given to his tongue, while the thick broth hugged his palate and released endless streams of meaty aroma, followed by waves upon waves of spices sweetly accompanied by a light spicy feeling from the chili sauce that had been mixed with the broth; the tiny cubes of meat as well were buttery-soft and releasing the full blast of their aroma every time the detective chew them, the entire dish was a flavor bomb that seemed to never end.

"I guess it's good?" Tensei asked with an amused chuckle, watching the professional detective throw credibility to the wind and wolf down his plate like a hungry ghost until his mouth was shining from the broth on it.

"S'gud. M' God I's su gud!" the detective gurgled-out, his mouth was simply never empty enough for him to answer properly.

"Well, I will give it a try myself then!" the Pro Hero, still utterly amused, declared while opening the tiny bamboo casket containing his steamed buns to release a thick pure-white cloud of vapor that fully submerged him in the gentle scent of the sea.

"Woh!" shaking his head a little to stop any sea-related daydream from surfacing, the young man grabbed one of the six cute dumplings with his chopsticks to study it.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I am so recording this!" Toshinori said while recording the whole scene with his phone.

"That is very evil and unusual." Nighteye said, while recording it as well.

"Hey, he's never shown his less serious side, I just want to make sure I can remember seeing it~" he stated.

"Alright, time to try the noodles first," Izuku stated.

"They were delicious!" Toriko said, already with a clean plate.

"YOU FINISHED THEM ALREADY?!"

"Oh, that is normal." Komatsu said.

"For you maybe..." Pixie Bob stated dryly. She took a bite of the first dish, the noodles.

"Daaaamn! This is good stuff!" Ragdoll said in awe.

"And it will make you younger. Couple years at most, but it's still something." Xara said.

"W...What?"

"Thank the boy, he is getting better there, and so do his dishes."

Ragdoll let out a high pitch squeal.

"Your V card is in danger, bro." Tetsutetsu said, laughing.

"..." Trying as he might, for some reason Izuku could NOT find any problem in that, surprisingly.

The steaming had turned the thin wrapping semi-transparent, giving him the chance to faintly see the Ingredients inside and take note that indeed those dumplings could be called Rainbow Colored thanks to what lies inside.

"It does look pretty..." Tensei muttered before giving it a bite.

"Mmmmmh!"

Izuku gave an embarrassed chuckle as he watched one of the 'Big Guns' of the Pro Hero business give a very orgasm-like moan of appreciation before starting to eat like...Well...A pig; the young Chef was still unused to the flamboyant reaction first-time customers had with his food, he knew that thanks to his time as Zaus and the tutoring of the System his cooking skills were good, but couldn't people just tone it down? Just a little bit? It was really embarrassing!

"Ingenium-san...There are people watching!" Izuku thought with a shy blush as few people that were passing in front of the restaurant had stopped dead in their tracks to watch a Pro Hero and a Detective of the Police Force gorge themselves in abandon, and while it was very good publicity, it didn't make Izuku feel any less embarrassed.

Iida's jaw dropped after hearing this from his brother.

"Ah-ha! Your brother acts human!" Monoma said with a mocking/teasing tone.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Iida shouted in pure horror. He then opened his own dish of dumplings. "I need to know how good these are." He took one, and bit into it.

"Oh-Oooooh!" Iida realized what he did, and covered his mouth, face blushing a deep red in embarrassment.

"Oh! It's genetic then!" Rin said, laughing.

"S-Silence!" Iida got out, with a bit of a stutter. "I-It was just better than I thought it would be, even though all of Midoriya's food has been good so far."

"Thank you! It is still embarrassing, but I still appreciate the compliment."

With Tensei and Tsukauchi -

The young Pro Hero was in Heaven, his empty stomach was crying in joy as bites after bites of pure Happiness were rapidly filling it; the fish of the dumplings had pretty much melted into his mouth as soon as he had bitten through the thin dumplings, thus creating a soup-like broth once mixed with the other Ingredients inside the tiny thing that kept rushing down his throat like a raging river of flavor at each bite.

"Amazing." Tensei muttered, immediately falling in love with that delicate taste that warmed his heart, his new favorite dish was then soon followed by the stir-fried noodles adorned with shrimps so fat and juicy that they bounced between his teeth at each bite.

"Shit! Empty already?!" Tsukauchi gasped in horror once seen his empty bowl, and barely caught himself from licking the plate clean, something he hadn't done since he was five years old.

"I know! The plates are big but they finish so fast!" Tensei answered, just as sorrowful at seeing his own empty plates.

"..."

"...Should we...Order something else?" the Detective asked, unsure.

"Eehm...He seems to have a nice selection of meat dishes...And it has been a while since I had some steak..." Tensei muttered in answer.

"I got some nice Argentine Beef, if you want. I also have some A5 Kobe Steak if you feel like pampering yourself." Izuku offered, making both men suck-in a cold breath.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*dVGGaSrxM74ArJm8AP1t4A.jpeg

"Kobe?! Can I have it? Pleeeeeeeeease!" Ochaco begged.

Just then, the next dish appeared in front of them all, being the A5 Kobe Steak.

"I mean, it's not Jewel Meat. But I can accept this too." Sanni said.

"Thank you." Ochaco said, kissing Izuku's cheek.

"Hoy! You were lucky once, don't push it." Toru said.

Ochako gave a fierce glare to them. "Do not ruin this. I've never had this before, because of my family issues, so I want it to be special, got it...?"

"I was not talking about THAT meat. But Icchan's." Toru said.

"I will get that too, it's my right."

"Hn! I believe this story will show otherwise," Momo answered, smiling smugly.

Argentine Beef and A5 Kobe, the undisputed KINGS when it came to steaks, ludicrously expensive, but otherworldly delicious as well.

"..." Tensei's face immediately turned red as an intense battle raged between his Heart, his Mind and his Stomach, each one giving valid Pros and Cons to the idea of-

"A5 please, medium-rare." the Pro Hero blurted-out, his stomach seizing victory out of sheer Gluttony. It will also blow a hole in Tensei's finances, but at the moment he straight-up didn't care.

"I'll go with a more mundane normal steak, thank you." Tsukauchi declared with a bitter expression, totally not jealous about Pro Heroes being able to throw away money like that. Absolutely. Not at all. Not even a little bit jealous.

"Damn rich bastards..." he thought.

"I'll be back immediately," Izuku answered with a bow and disappearing soon after inside the kitchen.

Attracted by the two Big Shots eating to their hearts' content, few of the people outside ventured into the new Restaurant owned by the youngest Chef they had ever seen, soon filling every table with curious new customers.

When one hour later the bribed Health Inspector and Food Critic arrived, they both found a Pro Hero and Detective waiting for them and very ready to shut-down their backers' plan once and for all, and feeling almost tempted to somehow unleash Whitey on them for added measure just to make sure the lesson stuck.

"Got what they deserve," Tina stated, not liking corrupt reporters.

"And yet I fear they won't stop sending complacent Reviewers anytime soon." Nezu said, humming.

"What makes you say that?" Coco asked.

"A mixture of sixth sense, experience with Villains and even mere logic."

"... You are one scary animal," Toriko stated.

"Thank you. Yahahahaha!"

The Next day – AU University -

The students of class 1A were having a small lunch break in the University own cafeteria, chatting about their first month of school and still recovering from their teacher Aizawa's Quirk Test, and also a bit angry at his threat of expulsion in case of failure merely being what he called 'A Logical Ruse'.

They all were certain the man didn't actually know what a 'Logical Ruse' was supposed to be.

"Bwahahahahaha!" It was then that a loud guffaw shook the cafeteria as a girl from class 1B with a bunny Quirk went overcome by a gut-wrenching laughing fit.

"Wait a minute," Rumi stated, hearing and seeing the person on screen

"Aaah! Yes! I can explain that." Joy said, chuckling.

"A multiversal thing, anything can happen will happen," Light stated.

"In this case, what some of us call Timeline Slip. Basically an event, or in this case a person, that happens later than in other versions. In this case, dear Miss Rumi was born a bit later, enough to be your classmate instead of a Pro already." the Eye said.

"... I don't know how I feel about this..." said bunny girl stated, unsure of her feelings.

"Rumi-chan! Please don't make a scene!" Pony Tsunotori begged with a red face.

"Can you please have some decency? At least laugh like a proper lady!" Tenya Iida, little brother of Tensei, asked with a kind-of-prude tone, annoyed by the outburst since class 1A and 1B had their tables next to each other.

"Oh, stuff it, Glasses!" the bunny girl snapped back.

"I-I never!" the young man bristled in shock at the rudeness.

"What made you laugh like that? Can we at least know the cause?" Momo asked, rolling her eyes.

"You may be younger, but everything else is still 100% You." Ryujyu said, laughing.

Iida looked unamused. "Why are all the people I seem to meet are hot headed...? First Bakugou, now Mirko."

"I blame their Quirk. One is animal based, the other explosive," Momo said.

"HEY!"

"Well, you two are very hot blooded, you can't deny that." Toshinori said.

"I just say what I think, I don't see the need to sugar coat stuff," Rumi answered.

"What the hag said."

Rumi gave Katsuki a glare. "What did you call me..?" she asked, an aura of death around her.

"What? You think to be forever 18 how that Cat Lady Hag down there?" he answered, scoffing.

Inko then loomed over him, making him stiffen. "Katsuki~ What have I told you about calling women that~?" she asked in a way to sweet tone of voice.

"But... Auntie!"

"HUSH!"

"Yes, Auntie..."

"So there IS somebody he fears!" Aizawa said in surprise.

"Mom has always been someone you don't want to anger," Izuku stated. "You should thank God I never told her about the bullying."

"Bullying?!" Inko roared.

"DEKU!" Katsuki shrieked in fear and betrayal.

"SCHEISSE!" Izuku swore.

"Uh?" Mic muttered.

"Shit in German. Probably to protect Eri." Nighteye whispered.

"Ooh!"

"Can we get back to the show...?" Sunni asked, trying to calm everyone down.

Nana just laughed. "I like her."

Midnight had a lovestruck look in her eyes. "What a woman~ Give's me chills~"

"Take a room you two." Zebra said, rolling his eyes.

"Don't tempt her!" Mic and Aizawa yelled in chorus.

"You idiots from 1A all have a stick up your ass. I just watched a video update from a guy I am following on Tw@tter." the bunny girl, Rumi, answered with a huff.

"A nice joke?" Kaminari asked immediately.

"In a sense, a duo of morons tried to dine-and-dash, but as always Whitey the Mightey punished them." Rumi answered.

"Whitey who?"

"Here, idiot." Rumi answered, showing them the Social Media Page owned by a small-time Influencer.

The lizard Twins had made their debut in the guy's special feed as they were shown being flung out of Izuku's Restaurant by the tall bald robot, completed with stock sound effect of something falling from the sky whistling, and a final score detailing the Style, Landing and Technique of their flying journey towards the garbage bin at the opposite side of the street (in their case an 8.5/10 as a Total score), completed with the stock sound effect of a roaring applause.

It was not an isolated case, in fact, that Influencer working in one of the restaurant in front of Izuku's was making a killing by posting a video series featuring Troublemakers flying out of the Restaurant thanks to Whitey, rapidly racking-in followers and likes at each new update.

StrippingDemon, TroublemakersMustBePunished, MighteyWhitey, StrippingAvenger, FoodOrgasm, CinnabunCooksGood, CutieChef, ThisTasteAwesome and many more Hashtags were also trending a lot, increasing the popularity of both Restaurant and Robot exponentially.

"Cutie Chef?!" Izuku said with a squeak.

"AND Cinnabun!" Teppei added, chuckling.

Steam was coming off Izuku's face.

"Icchan is very self-conscious somehow." Inko said, showing a smile both used and fond.

"Mom..." Izuku groaned out.

"Pffft!"

"Why in their boxers?" The invisible girl Tooru asked, giggling.

"What a better way to punish some losers than stripping them?" Rumi replied with a feral smirk.

"Green Cloud Restaurant? Oh! I believe my brother went there yesterday, he praised its Chef quite a lot." Tenya admitted, unsure.

In truth his brother spent HOURS gushing about the Chef's talent, and maybe, just maybe, Tenya was a tiny bit angry at the idea of somebody else being praised that much by his brother...

Iida was blushing after hearing this.

"Are you jealous?" Tetsutetsu asked in a tease, smirking.

"He's very jelly!" Pony added.

"I am not!" Iida shouted, looking offended.

"Please be gentle with Tenya-kun!" Izuku asked.

"We were just joking, buddy, no need to ride to the rescue of your unofficial brother!" Tetsu answered, snorting.

"... Brother?" Izuku asked, surprised.

"We all know, don't play dumb." Setsuna answered, rolling her eyes.

Izuku looked sheepish, Tenya instead had a very touched expression.

"Green Cloud, you say?" Momo repeated, eyebrows shooting up to her hairline.

"You know it?"

"It's Izuku's Restaurant! Heavens, I promised I would have gone to visit him and still have not done it, I can't believe he opened a month ago and I still haven't gone there." the young woman admitted, ashamed.

"It was a very eventful month, Yaomomo. I am sure he will understand," Mina answered with an encouraging smile.

"We can go there together tomorrow if you want," Ochako added.

"Do you mind?" she asked back.

"Not at all!" the other girls answered as one.

"We all will go, I am curious myself." Mezo admitted, he too had heard of the place, and the few reviews he saw were all very positive.

"I haven't paid a visit in a month? Wow, that me really showed a lack of good manners," Momo said in dismay.

"Well you have mister sour puss here as a teacher," Zebra stated, pointing at Aizawa. "He's a hardass as I can see."

"I am not a hardass. And I KNOW what a logical ruse is, you little spawns of Hell!" Aizawa answered, surprisingly more insulted at the ruse accusation than at the hardass comment.

"... You expelled a whole class last year..." Nezu stated flatly, his smile gone. "After that, I think that's an accurate statement."

"HE DID WHAT!?" all the students shouted in shock.

"I can explain." Aizawa said, lamely.

"Uh-hu."

"They had no potential and didn't take the course seriously," Aizawa stated, activating his Quirk for intimidation. "I run my class my way."

"Down with the hair. We know the story already, I just think nobody told the kids instead. Relax." Fat Gum said.

"... I don't want them to lose someone close to them on the field... I lost a friend like that..." Aizawa stated, remembering Obito.

"... Now I feel bad for him..." Komatsu stated.

"Eeh. Lost is part of life, yes, but nothing says we have to like it..." Knocking Master answered.

"Who was it?" Aizawa asked.

"My brothers in all but blood, and the closest thing I had to parents. But I do keep them alive where it counts, and so should you." he answered while patting his chest.

Aizawa nodded. "I see."

"Tch! Might as well go there myself, before you 1A buffoons stink-up the place too much," Rumi declared haughtily, causing many of her classmates to face-palm in annoyance at her rough attitude.

Of the two tables, only one guy was not thrilled at the idea of visiting the restaurant and meeting its Chef.

"...F***." Katsuki swore with a low voice, with his normal perennial scowl gaining an edge of dread in a matter of seconds. He really, really did not feel like meeting the guy yet.

"I don't think I will like the next show..." Katsuki admitted, bitterly.

"Kacchan? You do know I don't hate you... Right?" Izuku asked with a soft voice.

"I still wonder how that is a thing, honestly."

"Alright. We'll take another thirty minute break to set the next episode up," Light stated.

"Nice, I need to stretch my legs anyway," Mic admitted, yawning.

Everyone got up to head to the lobby.

To be continued...

______________________________________________________________________________

And that's the chapter. This fanfic is really coming along fast. More than some of my other stories.

Joy: I admit I write long chapters, so it is a bit more difficult to write reactions for those, but I too must admit this story is coming along exceptionally well. All thanks to you!

Hey, you're a big help as well. If you weren't helping. I'd be stuck on the first chapter still.

Hitoshi: "That bad with writer's block?"

Yeah. Me and Joy's new story has hit a snag thanks to it...

Joy: New projects are hard to start, they usually pick up steam after chap 2 or 3... but the first is WAAAAY harder than people believe.

True. I may have something for it though.

Joy: Uh? Do tell!

Don't want to spoil it here. Also, before I forget again, if anyone has an idea for Izuku's Polyamory group name, leave a suggestion.

Hitoshi: "Should we end this soon?"

Yes. Anything else you want to add Joy?

Joy: Group name...I think it would be fun if the Readers join too, so to share with us the pain to come up with a good name, AH-hA!

Okay. And with that, we'll see you all next chapter.

Joy: BYE-BYE!

Hitoshi: "See you, I guess."

And with that, see you next chapter.

Please R&R
